The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. is one of the most visited memorials in the United States. The memorial shows respect for all of the lives lost in combat during the Vietnam War. In recent years, a traveling wall that is about 80 percent of the size of the original wall is completing a series across the nation. Joe Galloway, a reporter who spent 16 years in Vietnam covering the war, discusses the importance of the wall in the video above.

A PhilanthroPete Campaign through the Oklahoma State University Foundation is raising money to host the traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
